Return to Beijing immediately
After returning to the inn, Chi Zhongtian first went to see Shao Jin, this child is quite obedient, does not cry or make trouble, and seems to have a good impression of Qiu Cicada, when Chi Zhongtian entered the room, Shao Jin was pestering Qiu Cicada to tell her a story.
"Oh, my little master, the story is over, why do you still want to hear it. "The little stock in the stomach of the autumn cicada seems to have been squeezed dry by Shao Jin.
"Sister, I want to hear stories, and my mother always tells me stories when she is fine. ”
Shao Jin suddenly pursed his lips aggrievedly and said pitifully.
When Qiu Chan saw him like this, he immediately felt a little unbearable, and hurriedly coaxed him: "In this way, my sister will tell you in a while, you have to let your sister drink some tea first, right." ”
"Childe, look at how cute this kid is. After Qiu Cicada saw Chi Zhongtian, he said with a smile.
Chi Zhongtian nodded and said, "It's very cute, you have to coax him well." ”
"Don't worry, Childe, although I'm not very good at coaxing a child, I definitely won't let him get lost. ”
Qiu Cicada's words almost made Chi Zhongtian laugh dumbly
Soon, two days passed, and in the past two days, Chi Zhongtian didn't go anywhere, so he stayed in the inn, and a few people who guarded the Shadow Leaf came to report the situation a few times, and Chi Zhongtian was thinking about the Fuyu Holy Sect, and there should be almost any movement.
Sure enough, just after this afternoon, Ye Luo came to the inn.
When Chi Zhongtian saw Ye Luo, he didn't say much, and asked directly: "How is it, is there any movement over there?"
Ye Luo nodded and said, "Yes, the people of the Fuyu Sect sent someone to deliver a message in the military camp today. ”
"What are you talking about?"
The letter said that the emperor wanted to exchange ten cities in southern Xinjiang for his son's life. Ye Luo said.
After hearing this, Chi Zhongtian shook his head helplessly and said, "I knew that their appetite would not be small. ”
"Owner, they have put so much effort into it, if they don't salvage a sum, wouldn't it be boring?" Ye Luo also echoed.
"It seems that this matter is troublesome, if the Fuyu Sect asks for money or people, we can all make the decision in private, but if we want the city, this is not trivial, this is related to the survival of the territory, we can't solve it. ”
"Owner, what should I do then?" Ye Luo asked.
"I have no choice but to go back and report to the emperor truthfully. Chi Zhongtian said silently, his eyes flashing with irrepressible anger.
In the evening of that day, Chi Zhongtian went to the barracks, and after discussing with Lu Gui and a few others, everyone also felt that since the Fuyu Holy Sect had issued such conditions, it was inevitable to return to the emperor.
It's just that Lijiang City still needs to be defended here, and it can't all leave at once, so after pondering for a while, the generals decided to let Lu Gui and Li Guang go back, and the rest of the generals were stationed here.
In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that this time when they go back, there will be more than one bad luck, King Qing will be arrested, and the emperor will be furious.
A day later, Chi Zhongtian prepared to leave for the capital with Lu Gui and Li Guang.
Because the Fuyu Holy Sect mentioned in the letter that the deadline was only three months, there was not much time left for them.
Chi Zhongtian was on the way, and he had already written down in detail what he saw and heard in Lijiang City this time, and he planned to take some time to tell the emperor in advance, if he said it in the last court, then in front of the civil and military officials, the emperor just didn't want to get angry, and he had to get angry.
On the way, everyone did not delay at all, and several horses died, but fortunately, Li Guang and Lu Gui were both more famous generals in the court, so after arriving at a post station, they could always find the most Haode horse to change.
In this way, ten days later, they returned to the capital.
In order not to attract attention, they deliberately chose to enter the city in the middle of the night.
"Two generals, do you want to come with me, or do you want to find a place to stay by yourself?" Chi Zhongtian asked after entering the city.
"General Bulaochi is worried, we all have a place to live in the capital. Lu Gui said.
"Okay, in that case, let's leave it for the time being, tomorrow morning, we zaijian. Chi Zhongtian arched his hand and said.
"General Chi. Lu Gui suddenly called him with a sad face.
Chi Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What's the matter?"
"General, tomorrow morning, if the general is convenient and hopes to be able to say a few good words for those soldiers in southern Xinjiang, this time it is mainly because of me that such a big thing happened, I am afraid that if the saint is angry, those soldiers may suffer. ”
When Chi Zhongtian heard this, there was also a wave in his heart, this Lu Gui himself was difficult to protect, but he was still thinking about the soldiers under his command.
"Don't worry, general, it's not your fault this time, I will do my best to keep you safe tomorrow!" Chi Zhongtian said categorically.
"Thank you, General Chi!" Lu Gui and Li Guang both said happily.
After separating from Li Guang and Lu Gui, Chi Zhongtian took the rest of the people and came to Yongmen Zidi's house non-stop.
At this time, there were almost no people on the street, and when Chi Zhongtian arrived in front of Yongmen Zidi's house, there was no one nearby.
"Xiaoye, go and call the door. Chi Zhongtian said.
Ye Luo nodded, then walked over and patted on the door.
Soon, it was opened, revealing a head, which looked like a servant, and asked coldly, "Who is it?"
"Please reply, just say that the Heavenly Master of the Pool is visiting. Ye Luo said.
"It's too late, let's talk about it tomorrow, we all go to sleep. The man seemed a little sleepy, and impatiently pushed the leaves out, and then closed the door with his hand.
"Hmph!" In the middle of the night, no one is in a good mood, he is so, and Ye Luo is even more so.
"Hurry up and pass the word to me, or I'll kill you believe it or not!" Ye Luo suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck, and then pulled him fiercely.
At this time, Ye Luo suddenly felt that someone was patting him on the shoulder.
"Konoleaf. Chi Zhongtian's voice came from behind him.
"I'm Chi Zhongtian, the general of the Shenwu Dragon Yangwei in the court, I have something important to ask to see the Taifu Yongmen, please hurry up!" Chi Zhongtian said loudly.
Chi Zhongtian used this kind of formal words to say, and when the servant heard it, he immediately nodded and said, "Oh, the general forgives the sin, and the little one will go to report it!"
Soon, there were some noisy footsteps inside, and immediately after, the door was opened.
"Brother Chi!" came out of Yongmen Zidi.
He was already about to fall asleep, but when he heard that Chi Zhongtian was coming, he felt strange in his heart, and immediately greeted him.
